    I was completely wrong on Notre Dame's defense. It might have been the lack of MSU offensive execution though, but how weak is the Big-10 this year. Ohio State escaped from a loss to Cal. Seems Northwestern coudl be one fo the dark horses and that is not a very strong team to be one of your top conference teams.

    John, I caught your article regarding Boise St tonight. Thanks for the 10* selection. Line seems to be falling from open of 7.5 to 6.5 with 74% on Boise. Any thoughts on the line movement?

    I like that the line is falling, I don't think you will see 5 1/2 though.. but public is on the dog.. that is favorable for us.

    Baylor is a huge play for us tonight. There are some 8 point lines showing up.. so grab that number at 8 -110...

    Research is on the site asn yes I know it is an away game. I caught it after publishing the article and even my database had it as a home game. It does not matter, matchups are still the same... I feel LA-Monroe is just way over their heads with Baylor.

    I have a hard time understanding how your research can still be the same with the team being away instead of home, especially with a Baylor team that historically has trouble on the road (0-4 ATS on the road last year with a Heisman QB) and most major power rankings have a double digit differential between Baylor's home vs away ratings. I absolutely respect your handicapping, but I think revising your write up based on significantly different trends would give your pick more substance.

    I jumped on Baylor ML to win 1k so far, hoping the line goes down more so I can pound them for more! BOL Baylor backers.

    MSU was humiliated last week by Notre Dame. They now know in their minds that they are not a top-5 BCS type of team and may have problems even winning the Big-Ten. I think they will get caught look at EM as an inferior opponent and if they don't show up to play hard, EM is going to by quite annoying to them. Just too many points.

    Definitely agree with the Florida selection.

    +31 for E. Mich not so sure I love it. Obviously, you aren't enthralled with it (5* selection). I think the 31 is about right so I'm staying away. My reference pt is Mich St. vs C. Mich game 41-7 2 weeks ago. It shows even the 2nd/3rd teamers from Mich st. will run it up. This time Mich St. is at home so expect close to similar results.

    Good Luck John.
    Look forward to you 12:15 update.

    YOu just pointed out a great fact. You mention that Baylor is 0-4 ATS on the road with a Heisman QB. What does that immediately reflect to you? That public over rated them based on an ATS basis. So, now, they don't have the RG3 and the public is bailing on them and playing against them. Also, teams off an OT loss are solid BET AGAINST teams. We lost the 20* last night, but sure looked ok till six seconds were remaining. A loss is a loss no matter how it occurs, but remeber with my selections that the systems, game situations, and matchups serve only to reinforce the graded play. They are not soley the reason for the play.

    I like Clemson +15. Neither team has played anyone this year to prove themselves (Auburn is not a good team this year). I think you will hear a lot of Boyd to Watkins (Hopkins as well) all night. That's what I see as the key. If the Noles shut down those tandems, well I doubt the tigers will be close.

    If you believe in FSU defense, I would take the under but, I'm on record taking Clem +15. Historically, they are under 65% of the time that Clem and FSu play each other and the public is betting under (54 O/U).

    Good Luck

    Look like we had a reasonable day. Michigan loses by a point. I really thogh that after ND failed to capitalize on so many Michigan miscues that Michigan would come back in the second half and win.

    How did the rest of you do ysterday? The FSU game turned out to be a barn burner. BUT FSU is back to national prominence with that performance.
